Subject: Player crashes much too frequently
The 0.5.0 player crashes much too frequently.
I've tried later versions, but they crash even more frequently.
With certain recordings it will crash in the same exact spot repeatedly -- it crashes, I restart it, it crashes again in the same spot, I restart it, it crashes again in the same spot, yadda yadda, I fast forward to get past the crash point.
Pretty frustrating.

Odd, with the newest version I haven't had any crashes for a long time. It's been almost spooky.

Sorry for giving you all of my crashes :P

he he.. Spooky ;)
Even though I do not use the player that much anymore it hardly ever crashes for me either.

It sounds like it could be a problem in the ffmpeg-library and your recordings. Is it mpeg2? And is there a stderr.txt in the mythvplayer directory which is spammed with error messages from ffmpeg?
Could you send/post you log.txt file after a crash.

I am trying to upgrade the ffmpeg version so maybe your issue will go away when I finally get time to finalize the release 0.5.2
